I made an order on a US based site, and paid via their website with credit card. For some reason the payment didn't go through (customer service and myself think it has something to do with it being an Australian credit card?) anyway, I then arranged payment via Paypal which was fine.

Fast forward to today. I checked my credit card statement and it looks like I was charged for my original card payment, but then it was refunded (or bounced back?) a couple days later. The problem is the refund matches in USD, buts my refund amount in AUD is about $40 less than what the debited amount was So I'm basically forking out $40 for nothing! So frustrating!
